Everything Else
Spectacular (stadium seating) movie theater, a variety of eateries from casual fare (Five Guys), to sports bar (The Yard House), to fine dining (Flemings Steakhouse). Great little boutique shops. Grab a Starbucks and sit outside where you can people watch (lots of celebs are known to visit here) or watch & listen to the beautiful river that flows through the grounds. There's The Cheesecake Factory for dessert, or even better, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get your fix. Or maybe you'd prefer Ben & Jerry's? Beautiful art gallery on-site, too. This is a MUST GO spot!

Drinks & Nightlife
Live music nightly; 2 or 3 floors to party. Great drink specials. TVs for live sports events. Food is great for both lunch & dinner (I think they may serve breakfast, too). It's a loud place, so if that's not your thing, you may want to avoid here. But lots of locals dig it, and it's open til 2am (a rarity in this desert).

Parks & Nature
Most amazing views you'll see of the Coachella Valley! It's actually a private-owned park. There's a fee to take the tram up ($5 parking, too), but the view is worth the money. Lots of great hiking trails, and there's both a fine dining & casual dining eatery. A fully stocked bar, too. It's worth spending a day up here.

There's several entrances to get into the park (the marker is placed on the 29 Palms entrance). The best one is the entrance from Hwy 62 (aka 29 Palms Hwy) in the town of Joshua Tree. If heading east from Palm Springs, take a right onto Park Blvd and follow it all the way to the park entrance (about 7 miles). Go to Keys View to see the phenomenal view of the Coachella Valley from the opposite angle from the Palm Springs Tram. Last time I checked, it's only $15 entry fee for everyone in 1 car. It allows you access for 7 days.

It's FREE! Less than 15 miles from I-10 sits this quiet little preserve with nature trails ranging from easy to difficult. They even have one trail that is handicap accessible. Great for bird watchers or just nature strollers. You may even forget you're in the desert. Open sunrise to sunset daily. One of our favorite spots to go!

A little pricey for admission, but if you go, you should definitely go first thing in the morning. There's so much to see, 1-day may not even be enough. There are many different animals and gardens to see. Hiking trails, as well. A little eatery (though we recommend you bring your own lunch). This isn't a typical zoo; it's an animal sanctuary. All of the critters here are not releasable due to prior injuries. Don't forget to visit the goats (you can go inside and pet them). If you love animals and natures, this is where you want to go.

Essentials
This is our go-to spot for almost all of our grocery needs. It's conveniently located next to Target, so if Joe's doesn't have what we need, we just scoot next door. If you need a caffeine boost, you'll also find Starbucks in this same complex, and a few fast food joints if you're hungry (Subway, El Pollo Loco, frozen yogurt).
